About MI8169-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System 14 Fr T-piece
What is MI8169-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System 14 Fr T-piece?
The MI8169-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System 14 Fr T-piece is a medical device designed for patients requiring frequent or continuous mechanical ventilation and airway suctioning. This closed suction system allows for tracheal clearance without disconnecting the patient from the ventilator, reducing the risk of contamination and maintaining ventilation support during the procedure. With a 14 French (Fr) diameter and a T-piece configuration, it is suited for adult tracheostomy care and integrates seamlessly with standard ventilator circuits and metered dose inhaler (MDI) delivery systems.
Key features
- Sterile and Single-Use — Ensures infection control with each application.
- 14 Fr T-Piece Design — Compatible with adult tracheostomy tubes and ventilator setups.
- Closed System — Maintains ventilation during suctioning, reducing oxygen loss.
- MDI-Compatible — Allows medication delivery through the side port.
- Tracheostomy Length — Optimized for secure fit and effective suction depth.
- Latex-Free Construction — Reduces allergy risk for sensitive patients.
- Clear Tubing — Enables visual confirmation of secretions and blockages.
Who is MI8169-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System 14 Fr T-piece for?
This device is intended for healthcare providers and caregivers managing adult patients on mechanical ventilation, particularly those with tracheostomies in long-term care, home health, or ICU environments. It supports safe, efficient airway management for individuals with limited mobility, neuromuscular disorders, or respiratory compromise. The closed system is especially beneficial for patients requiring frequent suctioning without disruption to oxygenation.
How does MI8169-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System 14 Fr T-piece compare?
Compared to open suction systems, the MI8169-Each Kimvent model reduces aerosolization and maintains PEEP during suctioning, offering better infection control and respiratory stability. Unlike standard polypropylene catheters, its integrated T-piece design supports MDI use and continuous ventilation. It performs on par with other closed systems in clinical settings but is priced competitively for home care use at $14.92 per unit.
Best use cases
- →Home care for ventilator-dependent adults
- →ICU suctioning with continuous ventilation
- →Tracheostomy maintenance in long-term care
- →MDI medication delivery during suctioning
- →Post-surgical airway clearance
Is Kimvent Closed Suction System 14 Fr T-piece right for you?
The MI8169-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System 14 Fr T-piece is best for caregivers or clinicians managing adult patients on mechanical ventilation with tracheostomies. Suitable for home or clinical use, it requires basic training in airway management. Alternatives include open suction catheters for lower-cost, intermittent use, or pediatric-sized systems for younger patients. Always confirm compatibility with existing ventilator circuits.
How it compares: Compared to open suction systems, this closed system maintains ventilation and reduces infection risk. It outperforms standard catheters in ICU settings by preserving oxygenation and supporting MDI use, though it costs more per unit than reusable or open alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a closed suction system used for?
▾
A closed suction system allows airway clearance without disconnecting the patient from the ventilator. It helps maintain oxygen levels, reduces contamination risk, and is ideal for critically ill or tracheostomy patients requiring frequent suctioning in clinical or home settings.
Does the MI8169-Each Kimvent system work with MDIs?
▾
Yes, the MI8169-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System includes a side port compatible with metered dose inhalers (MDIs), allowing medication delivery directly into the airway without disconnecting the patient from the ventilator circuit during treatment.
How do you use a 14 Fr T-piece suction catheter?
▾
Insert the 14 Fr T-piece catheter gently into the tracheostomy tube while the patient remains connected to the ventilator. Apply suction as the catheter is withdrawn, using sterile technique. Always follow clinical protocols for duration, frequency, and patient monitoring.
Is the Kimvent suction system latex-free?
▾
Yes, the MI8169-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System is made from latex-free materials, making it safer for patients with latex allergies or sensitivities, especially during long-term respiratory care in home or hospital environments.
Can this suction system be reused?
▾
No, the MI8169-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System is designed for single-use only. Reuse increases infection risk and may compromise structural integrity. Always dispose of after one procedure and use a new unit for subsequent suctioning.
